Default I need some of your opinions on this Grill.

Hey guys.... I put on the Carbonfiber TRD Grill today and I don't really like the way it goes with the color on my car... I think I'm going to paint it but I'm not sure if I should paint just the outside or the mesh too.. Opinions please..... Thanks..

Mike....

Yeah just paint the outside frame and if you don't like it like that then you can think about painting it all.

hey mrsypher, nice ride. It isn't illegal to take off your front plate in CT. I asked the DMV about a year ago and they said the rear is mandatory, not the front though. Under my front plate are 2 screw holes so I left it on. I think you can just cut eyelids out of vinyl?? Not too sure though.

I think they just changed the front plate law, because lately cops have been harrasin ppl left and right with no front plate, also when I went to the dmv, they gave me a ticket for no front plate so I had to rig something up until they checked it off, pain in da azz.

Yeah a few years ago I was in the Bronx with my friends, I didn't have a front plate on, and a cop pulled me over... He made us all get out the car get against a wall, and then he called for a K-9 unit to come... His reason for pulling us over was "failure to display tags in the front of the car".. Bull*****... He let us all go, thank god we weren't rolling dirty.... So I think I will keep the plate on the front... Plus I think there's 2 holes in the bumper already since the plate in already on....
